What Causes Loose Motion To A 5 Year Old?
My daughter is 5 years old and 40 lbs and she has been having explosive loose bowel movements for the past 4 or 5 days. It only happens once a day. It comes on all of the sudden. She goes to the bathroom and then she's fine. She doesn't seem to have any other symptoms. What should I do?

No specific medical therapy required as its self limiting.
If the child is eating well, no signs of dehydration no pain in abdomen then there is no cause for concern.
Do get back to me for further queries
